The radish was harvested today. Two varieties of radishes as purple and ordinary were planted in this autumn farming and the yield is about 120 which are satisfied with size and quantity. Tomorrow is kimchi making day at my house. In Korea, around this time, the whole family gathers to make kimchi used for the next year side dish. On this day, most households wrap boiled pork in salted cabbage and eat it with folk liquer such as makgeolli and soju. Tomorrow will be a busy and tiring day.
Small quantity of cabbage was planted this year. Rather than to make kimchi, I plan to use it for soup or jeon. Jeon is Korean folk dish. Coat cabbage leaves with flour dough mixed with eggs and fry in oiled pan. Since cabbage is okay to drop below freezing, harvest will be around early December.
It was only now that I learned that peppermint likes cool climate and has a strong fertility like wild grass. It feels good to see and touch peppermints planted by my neighbor on the leftover land. Lightly rubbing with my hands and approaching my nose feel like my brain washed with cool and fragrant scent. Thanks my friends, peppermint!
